Scrappingclearly July moodboard inspiration

Hi everyone, just sharing my Design Team take on this month's moodboard over at Scrappingclearly. Did you know they have 2 challenges per month now, a sketch and moodboard! Totally cool, the inspiration is great! Here is the wintery, warm inspiration for you:



I really went for it with Gold, for this layout, I knew the perfect papers and accessories I had in my collection of DT goodies would be perfect for this layout of my beautiful boy. Can't believe this was 10 years ago, really, where on earth do the years go???

I have been working with the Maggie Holmes, Bloom range and the Dear Lizzy, Happy Place collection. I just love the gold foil vellum from the Bloom collection. I also have quite a bit of product left from the Teresa Collins Life Emporium range. (The chipboard stickers, & wood dots you can see below.)

There's also some Heidi Swapp product on there, of course, and a doily and some of those really cool glitter dots which just keep going! (Yes, best $2 shop find ever!) Had to finish off with some of the Gold Foil Thickers, which are so shiny, love them!!! If you would like to know a few more details or find out where you can get most of the products I have used, there is a link to the Scrappingclearly blog above, my post on the blog will link you straight to them!

Thanks for visiting, see you next time!

Kraft Plus November Challenge

It's nearing the end of the month, so I'm trying to catch up on a few blog challenges! This month's Kraft Plus Challenge, is to be inspired by PINK, the artist, not the colour!! and of course a Kraft background. Here's the album cover I picked as my inspiration:

I chose the colours of this album cover as my inspiration and they happened to be Christmas colours, so I have gone with a Christmas themed layout!! Here's my layout:

I've used some gold foil cardstock from Kaszazz, along with their Jolly Christmas range of papers. Kraft background of course, some Heidi Swapp foil stars & arrow, sequins, washi tape, Kaszazz stamps, Dylusions Sprays and the Poinsettia flowers I am over the moon to finally use as they have been in my stash for a very long time!! They were from Sanook paper Company in San Francisco!! TFL.

Christmas tags and cards

Well I have one more week until the Saltwater Craft Fair here in Darwin. I have been madly making cards, tags, all things Christmas and all things papercraft. Here are some more tags I made using the same design I previously came up with. I embossed stars onto the background with the new Kaszazz embossing folder, and used the shield die to cuts out the shapes. Stamps and ribbon are also Kaszazz and the tiny red gems are from a gift I received from a fellow papercrafter and friend.

...and some cute and simple little cards I made using inspiration from Pinterest!

 Below, is a pic of some Christmas gift boxes I made. My 11 yr old daughter made some of these at school last year and taught me how to make them!!! (Chip off the old block!) I love them! I have seen instructions for them elsewhere, and probably on Pinterest. If you search, Origami boxes, you are sure to come up with some variations!
